Karwa Chauth

Karwa Chauth is a world renowned tradition, representing India as a country full of love and traditions. Married Hindu woman fasts on this very day from the break of dawn till they see the moon at night. Women pray for their husbands long life and well being. This ritual has its basis on strengthening bonds between husbands and their wives. Women dress up in traditional way and gather in a common place to offer prayers and listening to the legend of Karwa Chauth. Finally after seeing the moon through the sieve and worshipping it, women take their first sip of water and first bite of food by their husband hands.
